Its more likely than you think. http://cyberxzt.com/blog/2010/08/another-wow-server-its-more-likely-than-you-think/ http://cyberxzt.com/blog/2010/08/another-wow-server-its-more-likely-than-you-think/#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:43:54 +0000 CyberXZT http://cyberxzt.com/?p=29 Im helping a friend with another World of Warcraft server. I’m not posting any details at the moment so keep checking back. Their might won’t be a classic server however and I might bring back Project Aura. Again, keep checking back.

EDIT: It wont be a classic server at first but some people have told me that the 1.12.1 server community has gone to shit and asked me to open one. Maybe in the future….

This one is being done independently. The game is called “XStGen” and it is a console based “choose-your-own-adventure” sort of game. I have always wanted to do a console-based game anyways. The engine attempts to randomize every possible aspect while still keeping a good story. It will also explore random genres from science fiction to horror to fantasy. It will also alter the story to your real surroundings by adjusting to the time of day, phase of the Moon and more.

I have put down around 1,500 lines of code into it and its not close to being done but I do plan on releasing a small demo of it soon, maybe in a day or two.

Anyways, heres a quick picture of it. Sadly, the picture doesn’t show the true potential of the game but be patient. Also, click the picture for full screen…

And for those that think console games suck, look at Nethack, it is one of the most in depth games of all time.

Unfortunately the less important things such as my blog and other miscellaneous files were lost. Luckily, I still have backups of my more important files such as SVN repositories and such so not all was lost. I was needing to rebuild my blog anyways. More stuff soon, probably, hopefully, maybe, if your lucky…

In a partially related story, I will no longer be hosting websites, too much work.
